"Such People Are Allowed Failures": Ex-India Star Backs Sanju Samson

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar backed wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson to be allowed "long patch of failures" because of the impact he can make when he is in form. Samson's inconsistent run in T20Is continues as after three centuries in five innings across five innings against Bangladesh and South Africa, he has been troubled by the high-quality pace of Jofra Archer, who has dismissed him thrice in this ongoing series. He has scored just 35 runs in four innings at an average of 8.75, with best score of 26.

Is Short Ball Sanju Samson's Nemesis? Kevin Pietersen Says "On Occasions You Get Stuck..."

Sanju Samson is having a poor form in T20I cricket. The right-handed batter has scored only 34 runs across three innings at an average of 11.33 and a strike rate of 103.03 in India's ongoing five-match series against England. Samson started with a positive knock of 26 but scored only 5 and 3 in his next two innings, respectively. More than the runs, the matter of concern is that he was dismissed in almost similar deliveries to the same bowler -- short balls from Jofra Archer. Samson tried to pull the England pacer on all three occasions and a failed attempt saw him losing his wicket.

Ex-India Star Highlights Concerning Stat On Sanju Samson: "Extremely Ordinary..."

Former India batter Aakash Chopra has revealed a concerning stat surrounding wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson's batting against express pace bowling.

While highlighting his mode of dismissals, Chopra suggested that Samson has not only struggled to score runs he has also failed to preserve his wicket while facing express pace.

England batter Harry Brook was bamboozled by India mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy for the second straight game in the ongoing five-match T20I series. Ahead of the second T20I in Chennai, Brook had given a bizarre remark, saying that due to smog in Kolkata, it was difficult to play the spin of Chakravarthy.

"Wanted To Take On England's Best Bowler As...": Tilak Varma On Jofra Archer Assault

India's middle-order batter Tilak Varma said his breathtaking assault on pacer Jofra Archer in the second T20I here was pre-planned and was intended to neutralise England's best bowler, which in turn demoralised the rest of the pack. Tilak, who made an unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, creamed Archer for four sixes, including a scarcely believable pick-up flick over deep fine leg, as the Sussex man leaked 60 runs in his four overs at Chepauk on Saturday. India won the match by two wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Archer had figures of 4-0-21-2 in the first match at Kolkata, underlining the success Tilak's strategy had in Chennai.
